My publisher is finally putting together Warning: Dead Inside together, so it might actually see the light of day which would be kind of amazing. I'm sharing because like, i'm super proud of all the work that was put into this-but I don't expect any of my mutuals to like this. I won't be posting much about it, just saw this today and was excited to share.

Illustration and Coloring by the amazing Phil Buckenham. Script and original idea by me.

BBC Radio 3 - Between the Ears, Year of the Corvids

Corvids (Crows, Rooks, Ravens, Magpies & Jays) have long been seen as both deeply symbolic and possessed of astonishing intelligence behind their twinkling eye but is it consciousness? In the company of wildlife recording supremo Chris Watson, Clayton sets off on a burning blue autumn day to watch one of the great corvid happenings, the roost at Buckenham and wonder at the temporal, spatial and…

Legendary racer Carl Fogarty makes surprise visit to popular bike meet-up

Nearly 2,000 motorbike fanatics were left overjoyed when legendary racer Carl Fogarty made a surprise visit to their free weekly village meet-up. ‘Foggy’, a four-time World Superbike champion, is still adored by an army of loyal supporters after becoming one of Britain’s most popular sporting figures in the 1990s. And many were left grinning from ear to ear when they got the chance to unexpectedly rub shoulders with him in Old Buckenham, Norfolk, on Tuesday. “I come every week, it’s my local place to come for a meet. It’s great to meet new faces and, obviously, you never know who might turn up,” said Carl Thomas, 41, from Norwich. “It’s great Foggy was here. They’re all heroes, he’s a rider isn’t he so he’s a hero. I’m a biker so they all are. I let him do his thing, I’m not one of these who would jump all over him. He’s got more than enough people.” Steve Kingston-Miles, better known as Bumble, also made the near 20-mile trip from the city to the popular Two-Wheel Tuesday gathering hosted by the Ox & Plough pub. “I got a sneaky photo with him,” he laughed. “I didn’t know he was coming. I came up because I thought he (friend, Carl Thomas) might be here and he said: ‘Foggy’s coming’ and I was like ‘is he?’ We were looking for him and obviously we found him. I wasn’t sure what I was going to say to him, I didn’t have a clue - probably ‘you came in the van didn’t you?’ “I am surprised to see him in Norfolk. I’ve never met him before but I have seen him race.” The Blackburn-based superbike icon, who won I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! in 2014, was in Norfolk on business catching up with North Lynn-based Bikesure - the motorcycle insurance broker he has been brand ambassador for since 2012.

The one-time King of the Jungle said: “It was a fantastic evening and an amazing turnout of bikes. “The weather was amazing, it’s a great free event. I’ve been to quite a few bike meetings over the years, but I’ve never seen anything like that one before. It was a huge turnout. “I was mucking in, flipping a few burgers and pulling a few pints, and if I’m ever down in Norfolk again I’ll definitely be calling in on the Ox & Plough on a Two-Wheel Tuesday.” Visiting the popular event on the village green also gave him the opportunity to catch up with his long-time friend Martin Williams. When the 62-year-old got married, Foggy’s wife Michaela was the maid of honour. “I’m used to walking around with him in places and us getting stopped,” joked the former Blackburn native who relocated to Stiffkey. “It’s better than it used to be, it was manic in the 90s. But I still rip Foggy when it happens. We used to have a laugh by me pretending to take photos for fans and actually just taking a load of selfies - and one picture of the person with Carl obviously. It was nice to catch up and see some bikes, including the Ducati he made a short trip on to arrive. I hadn’t seen him for six months and it’s always great to catch up, he’s a top bloke.” Two-Wheel Tuesday has been running since 2013 and was the brainchild of former pub landlord Ben Devlin. Current proprietor, Dave Tranmer, has overseen the event as it continues to flourish and attract thousands of bikers and non-riders alike from the first Tuesday in April until the end of October. Mr Tranmer said: “We’ve never had anyone as famous as Carl Fogarty here before. It was a privilege to have him here and that he was even interested to come. It just proves how popular Two-Wheel Tuesday is. He had a great night as far as I’m concerned, it was a pleasure to have him. “There were 1,200 bikes here, which equates to about 1,800 people on the green. It gets bigger and bigger every year. Bikers love it, most of the village love it - there’s a few that don’t, but what can I do? I try and keep it as peaceful and friendly as I can. “It’s so popular because it’s on the village green. We give them a variety of food, a variety of drinks and there’s never any trouble. There’s loads of places to park and I think it’s in an area where the public can come to the green, have a great night and look at bikes - and bikers love people looking at their bikes. It’s just a great, peaceful evening to be honest.” Bikesure was there to capture his shock appearance and put together a short heartwarming 90-second video that you can watch here: Read the full article

Valhalla Awaits #1

Valhalla Awaits #1 Evoluzione Publishing 2020 Created by Phil Buckenham Written by Joshua Metzger & Phil Buckenham Illustrated by Phil Buckenham Coloured by Agnese Pozza Lettered by Justin Birch     Valhalla Awaits is a comic series that draws heavily from the Poetic Edda and Viking and Norse mythological themes. The story follows characters Hildr and Erik and their journey through the Viking afterlife, where they encounter Norse gods, and legendary creatures.     I love a good Viking story, the Norse, the Egyptian and the Greek Gods are those that have for me the most interesting and intriguing characters. So while you can assume from the title that death will be a main feature here. I have to say I am utterly and sincerely impressed with this book and what I am seeing here. This is why I love small press companies, it's why I implore you to give them a try because of stories like this. Evoluzione is home to some incredible storytelling and you really need to check them out and soon.     I found the opening to be dramatic, impactful and full this impending doom and yet that rush for a small hope lingered. It really catches the readers' attention and keeps you engaged and even going off-script as you think of what may or may not know or heck even look up something to familiarise yourself more. This is such a rich and largely untapped realm so seeing this take on it is for me thrilling to see. The story & plot development that we see through how the sequence of events unfold and how the reader learns information is laid down spectacularly. Just the flow of the story and how things progress in such a way that you never lose your focus on what is happening. The character development is fantastic! I really enjoy seeing how the characters are introduced and how Hildr grows up and expands her viewpoint beyond what Erik drilled into her. She has some great lines and they are rather quite true to this day. The pacing is superb and as it takes through the pages revealing the twists and turns along the way keeps us fascinated. The way everything works together to create the books ebb & flow is brilliantly done.     The interiors here are bloody marvellous! The linework is exquisite and how we see the varying weights being utilised to showcase the level and quality in the attention to detail will bring a smile to anyone's face. Speaking of the faces and facial expressions that we see are superb and along with the body language further the characterisation. The way that backgrounds are utilised here work within the composition of the panels to beautifully demonstrate depth perception, scale and bring this sense of size and scope to the book. The utilisation of the page layouts and how we see the angles and perspective in the panels show such a strong, talented eye for storytelling. The colour work is really well rendered. I am a huge fan of how light sources are utilised as well as how the various hues and tones within the colours create the shading, highlights and shadow work that we see. ​     This was a treat people. The characters are sensational and how we see the story develop is really good and has this natural feel to the flow. The catalyst we see is completely understandable and thus makes Hildr one of those we can identify and relate to. Overall this really is why I love reading stories that seem to come out of nowhere and honestly this continues to be why I think Evoluzione is a company that needs to be on your radar. They have consistently good strong quality storytelling in their books.
